The fit and finish is like a fine swiss watch. I'm still kicking myself for not buying a limited edition mdl 83 Alaskan Master guide series 454 that had roundbutt grip frame and 5 1/2" barrel. It fit me perfectly, I could shoot it very accurately and my buddies asking price was quite reasonable. But I didn't have the $1100 at the time so I lost out.
I do plan on getting a mdl 83 built exactly the way I want it one of these days, I just need to commit the funds to the project.
For revolvers they are in a class of their own and can't be compared to mass produced guns, because they aren't. They will hold their value.
